Auckland & Beyond – Coromandel Day Tour
From $459
Once famed for its gold mining and Kauri industries, the Coromandel Peninsula has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving into a vibrant hub for tourism, particularly ecotourism. As you journey through this breathtaking landscape, you’ll be captivated by its diverse natural beauty and rich cultural heritage.
Explore pristine beaches with turquoise waters, where golden sands meet lush native forests shining with wildlife. Discover hidden coves and secluded bays that beckon you to unwind and immerse yourself in the local nature.
Delve into the region’s fascinating history as you visit remnants of its gold mining past, from abandoned mineshafts to historic towns that still echo with tales of the gold rush era. Learn about the indigenous Maori culture that has thrived in this land for centuries, and gain insights into the traditional practices and customs that continue to shape the region’s identity today.
But perhaps the true magic of the Coromandel lies in its commitment to sustainability and conservation. From protected marine reserves to lush rainforests brimming with biodiversity, this peninsula is a haven for eco-conscious travelers seeking to connect with nature in a meaningful way.
So whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or simply a chance to reconnect with the natural world, this day trip is a great experience that will leave you with memories to cherish for a lifetime.
The Coromandel Day Tour starts with us picking you up from Auckland central; then you’ll enjoy a three hour drive through the Waikato Region then Bay Of Plenty with a scenic stop on the way for amazing photos and any other stops if needed.
Then we head down to Visit the Driving Creek Railway which will take you on a 1-hour train ride that includes 2 spirals, 3 short tunnels, 5 reversing points and several large viaducts as it climbs up the hill to the Eyefull Tower.
At the top, you will be fascinated by the panoramic views over the island-studded Hauraki Gulf.
After that; you will go to the natural Thermal Mineral Pools of The Hot Water Beach where you can enjoy a walk, swim or just relax.

After you finish your amazing tour in The Coromandel Peninsula we start our way back to Auckland central.
